support for building:shape ?
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
is it planned to support the building:shape tag sometime in the future?
E.g. the Berlin television tower has its sphere described with .
So far the tower appears just as a single column in the output ...

Saw a video where you presented new features (OpenGL frontend) at the fossgis conference last week. Can you provide any forecast when this might be released?
Thanks a lot!
The building:shape key is undocumented and – I believe – only supported by OSMBuildings at the moment. Its semantics (e.g. placement of entrances) aren't really clear to me, and I'm not convinced that the building:shape=cylinder value is preferable over a more general solution for round walls. So, at the moment, I do not have plans to implement it. But I'm open to discuss the topic, e.g. on the OSM forum. If this tag becomes more broadly accepted by the 3D community, I will of course aim to support it.
As for the WebGL frontend: It's hard to give an estimate, but probably not before May.
ok, thanks!
